Wine or Beer?

Note to self: wine > beer

 

Wow. Didn't know that.

I guess like the other poster said, I just associate people drinking wine to healthier life style than the people who drink beer.

 

Beer. If I'm unsophisticated so be it. Beer goes w/ a much wider range of activities and meals. And there are more sophisticated beers for more sophisticated occasions. It's not all about beer bongs and tailgating...I think people immediately think of some dude chugging a Bud Light w/ his gut hanging out when you compare wine and beer.

 

I voted wine, but it was hardly a landslide...I like both...

You can only get really great beer from a homebrewer.

 

not even close to being close to being true.

 

In terms of versatility and food matching - even snooty wine critics agree that Beer wins in a landslide - the shameful secret of the wine press.

 

This is the equivalent of "I'm so cool because I like this rock band that no one has heard of."

 

I think you need to be drinking beer to read that post...

I don't know about that. I've had some amazing beers.

 

Watch out. You're going to make the angry buddha angry.

 

shhhhh!!!!

 

Not really. It's just like homemade ice cream compared to store bought.

Sore bought ice cream can be really good. But homemade from scratch will be better. Beer is the same way.

 

double post alert.

Yeah, but i was talking about in terms of freshness. You could drink a store bought beer at its brewery and it be totally different. It's just not very practical. That's not an issue with wine. A well brewed fresh beer is just as good a good wine imo. If it was based on store bought I might lean towards wine. But if the beer flowing like a mountain stream of liquid candy, it will probably win.

 

Ditto.

 

I hear what you are saying but in my opinion, even the best, freshest beer (which I feel I've had) doesn't come close to a great glass of wine.

 

I gave up beer for Lent and it is really tough so I have to vote for beer. I cannot wait until Easter.

 

You have about as much a chance of home-brewing a beer better than the Trappiste Rochefort Abbaye St. Remy monks or the Weihenstephaner brewery outside Munich (or any number of thousands of craft breweries around the world) as I do of making a bottle of Veuve Clicquot by collecting some grapes from my backyard and tossing them into a bucket. Also, if freshness is what you are talking about, your prepackaged processed homebrew ingredients are not nearly as fresh as what real breweries use.

 

Great homebrewed beer straight from the keg will beat any commercial bottled beer. You can even grow your own hops etc. I'm sure the beer at the Weihenstephaner brewery is great. But once it is bottled it becomes a different product. Superfreshness is where its at.

 

Dude...this statement is beyond ridiculous.
